TRUE TO HER FAITH.
Tee Old DominiOn's Glorious Showmg-A
Democratic Legislature.

RICHMOND, Va, November S.-The re-
ports from this State are coming in slowly.
The full returns from eight counties show
a Republican gain of one member of the
House OF Delegates. The Democrats carry
Lynchburg by 450 majority, gain OF
900 votes since the Congressional election
of last fall.
Unofficial figures, which will fairly ap-
proximate official votes, show that 20 of
the "a precincts in Richmond give over
500 majority for the Democratic candi-
dates for the House of Delegates. The re-
naming four precincts will increase this
majority by FROM one to two hundred.
Returns from twenty counties in the State
do not show gain or loss to either party,
although the vote has changed in several
instances, former Democratic counties
electing Republican delegates, and vice
versa.
The news being received at the State
Democratic headquarters is encouraging for
the Democrats and they are jubilant over
the defeat of Malone. Chairman Barbour
at midnight said his estimate was
that the Democrats in both
branches of Legislature would about hold
their own. The losses in a few counties
being offset by gains in as many more.
He is certain OF a Democratic majority Of
twenty five on joint ballot, with proba-
bility of two-thirds majority.
Up to this hour III p. m about forty
cities and counties of the State have been
heard from. These show that the Demo
Gratis have elected delegates in thirty
counties. They have lost the following
counties which at the last elec-
ton went Democratic: Wythe,
King, William, Patrick, Louis,
and Henry and have made gains in.the fol-
lowing counties, which at the last election
went Republican: Appamattox, Russell and
Page If this rate OF losses and gains con-
time in the remaining counties the Demo
Gratis will have about three-fourths Of the
Senate andnearly two-thirds of the House
of Delegates.
